This nomination will be resolved in California and not as it has been in the past which is by Iowa, and NH. These two front runners are raising enough capital to last them through the Super primaries, campaign advertising etc.

California is going Obama and NY is going Hillary. That leaves Texas, Florida and Pennsylvania as the remaining large states. And the issue will be foreign policy I think (It is Iraq, stupid)

Obama took the first shot in this direction as reported yesterday.

He has so far managed to project himself successfully how different he is. Hillary is trying to paint him as naive. But his campaign has not forgotten the fact that 2004 was decided not on patriotism, but on Bush's ability to convince people that it is the war on terror that is important. Obama is picking up on that and reminding people whatever happened to the war on terror the Bill Clinton way where he fired missiles into the training camps in Afghanistan. "actionable intelligence." It is like telling Pakistan, if you don't we will.

Obama is not running as a black candidate like Jesse Jackson did. I have never heard Obama say that he is "cotton pickers" candidate. It is the press that his projecting him that way. Let us not forget that his mother is Caucasian and he had a significant amount of interaction with his maternal grandparents that he did with his paternal relatives in Africa. He comes with the right amount of racial blend and I see no reason for Americans failing to think beyond race when it comes to America. In fact Obama is the pride of a color blind US with the right credentials.
